(Bulk: 1898-1960)
Extent: 16 linear feet
The American Section was one of the first to evolve during the early development of the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.
The University Archaeological Association established in 1887 and later, the American Exploration Society, established in
1892, exhibited several small collections in College Hall before the building campaign for the museum began. Charles Abbott
was the first curator of the section succeeded by Henry C. Mercer and then Stewart Culin who was also named Director in 1899.
Each succeeding curator was responsible for adding collections, many of them representing their own expeditions in the United
States, Alaska, Mexico, Central America and South America. Records in the files are dated from 1826 through the 1980s. The
transfer of materials to the Archives took place piecemeal and without a central organization. The current re-processing placed
the files into three series, Deaccessions and Loans, Collectors and Collections and Exhibits.

The American Law Institute (ALI) was founded in 1923 in response to a perceived uncertainty and complexity in American law.
Former Penn Law Dean William Draper Lewis was the Institute's first director, running the organization's operations out of

Law Professors) for the stated mission "to promote the clarification and simplification of the law and its better adaptation
to social needs, to secure the better administration of justice and to encourage and carry on scholarly and scientific legal
work." To that end, the ALI has held annual meetings since its inception to adopt its restatements and other codification
projects, discuss drafts, analyze pending legislation and aspects of the law, set policy, and initialize new projects. The
collection, 1923-1995, includes correspondence, addresses and remarks, reports on codification projects and other ALI-related
activity, annual meeting programs, yearbooks, proceedings, and related records regarding activity at the ALI's annual meetings.
